-My next guest is a talented actress
who you can see on the hit show "Riverdale"
every Wednesday night at 8:00 p.m., on the CW.
Here is Camila Mendes. Oh!
Hey! It's so great to see you. -Hi!
-Thank you so much for doing this.
-So good to see you, yeah.
-Are you in Vancouver?
-I'm in Vancouver. -Doing "Riverdale."
-I'm doing "Riverdale." I just got out of quarantine
like two weeks ago. -What did the cast get up to
when you were in quarantine for two weeks?
-In quarantine? -Yeah.
-For the second quarantine, like, I kind of hate it
when people make me feel really [bleep] about not seeing movies.
Like, if I haven't seen, like, a really classic movie,
and people are like, "You've never seen that?"
And they make you feel terrible. -I know!
-I hate that. I feel like it's --
-"Hey, it's fine if you haven't seen it.
We're different people, and I have time to grow,
and I could watch it tomorrow."
-Yeah, there's like 500,000 movies in existence,
but I was like, "I've never seen 'Lord of the Rings.'"
I think I saw it when I was like 5 years old
with my cousin or something.
-Yeah. -Don't remember it,
and every time people talk about it,
I'm like, "Oh, I don't know,"
and they're like, "What?!" and they freak out.
So we did it in quarantine.
And then, we decided to watch
the best cinematic trilogy of all time.
-Ooh, let me think. What is it?
"Godfather." -"High School Musical."
[ Both laugh ]
-Yeah, that's right. I forgot.
It is "High School Musical." I forgot.
-It is "High School Musical." -Is there three of them?
-There's three of them. And the third one, Jimmy --
the third one you have to see it.
They went all-out for the third one.
-How'd I miss the third one?
-They made it a full cinematic experience.
It went to theaters, so it wasn't just on Disney Channel.
-I do remember this! -It was in theaters.
'Cause it was, like, their big graduation, you know?
Like, saying goodbye to the franchise
and all the characters. And the music was next level.
-Yeah, not only did I remember it,
I think I did see it in the theaters, by the way.
-Did you? -Yeah, I actually did go
to the theater to see it
because I was actually really psyched out.
Like, me and some of the writers were like all into it.
In fact, I totally remember this.
-We were all watching it, like, "Is this what it's gonna be like
when 'Riverdale's' over?" Like, I hope they do
the same thing, like, we all, like, jump into the air.
-[ Laughing ] Freeze frame.
-[ Laughs ] -But you're kind of --
You're kind of doing it with this season
a little bit, though. -Yeah, we just
had our graduation episode last night, actually.
-Yeah, but -- And now we get to see the next episode,
what happens to you guys in the future.
-We fast-forward like seven years, or we time-jump.
And now our characters are like in their mid 20s,
and they all have, like, their own separate lives.
And then, Archie calls them and kind of, like, summons them
back to Riverdale for a mysterious reason.
-You guys, I heard that you play a game
that's kind of interesting to me.
-This game is actually so fun to play, and I highly recommend it.
Like, when we're sitting in our tent, really bored,
and it's, like, big days when, like, the whole cast is there,
we'll play a game called "What Are the Odds?"
And, basically, you kind of, like, pick a task.
Like, I'd say, "Jimmy, what are the odds
you eat an entire watermelon right now?"
And then you have to pick a number between 1 and 30.
Like, what would you say are your odds?
-An entire watermelon? 30.
-An entire. 30? -Yeah.
-And then we would count down.
Like, someone would go, "3, 2, 1,"
and then we'd both have to say a number,
and if we say the same number,
you have to eat that whole watermelon."
-I get it. This is a really fun game.
But it sounds dangerous a little bit.
-It is a little dangerous, because, like,
there's some things I wouldn't share here that we've done,
that we made each other do. -Yep.
-I think it's not -- -Yeah.
Did anyone have to eat an entire watermelon?
-Oh, yeah, Drew Ray Tanner had to eat an entire watermelon.
-Oh, really? [ Laughing ]
He looked sick to his stomach by the end of it.
We had Casey -- Casey lost one
where he had to sit on the floor the whole day.
Like, he wasn't allowed to sit in a chair.
[ Both laugh ]
It's just, like, stupid things like that.
It's not even, like, that challenging sometimes.
And then, one of them, I think --
I don't remember if he ever ended up posting it,
but we had Charles, we said, "What are the odds
you would post on your Instagram that your lips are fake?"
Like, make a video confessing that you have fake lips.
And I think he did it and then deleted it,
'cause we were like, "Oh, wait.
People might actually believe you."
I don't remember. -Camila, I always love
having you on the show,
but I want to show everyone a clip.
Here's Camila Mendes in next week's episode of "Riverdale."
Take a look at this.
-It's 2021, Chad. Haven't you heard?
Women can have it all now.
-I just...
I don't want you to be unduly stressed.
-I'm not stressed.
Actually, I miss being on the trading floor with you.
I miss all that adrenaline.
The highs of a filthy huge sale, talking smack with the guys.
[ Chuckles ]
They called me the She-Wolf of Wall Street.
